    Christmas 2024 from my wife. This is what I believe is a 1949 Gillette Milord gift set from Christmas maybe. Gold tone razor (no date code) which i believe is a 1949. is in pristine condition as it looks almost unused. Shaving cream box appears to be unopened. Blade dispenser is unopened . Extra dispenser of blades is missing so I'm thinking this set is barely used.

    Very nice Milord. That cut out looks like a brush used to live there. Very nice find for your wife.

    Someone on another post mentioned the same thing. A USA Rocket that's a first in my little collection. I'm very new to collecting Gillette Razors. Almost everything I have so far are Straight Razors or Single Edge Razors. This gift set is by far one of the coolest Razors I have.

    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
    Gillette 1905 Double Ring
    Gillette Silver Blue Blade
    Cold Water Rinse
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Mennen After Shave

    The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette 1905 Double Ring razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
